All are welcome to our regular weekly meetings. Half of the meeting is discussion/self-education to help us decolonize ourselves (see our resources section). Half of each meeting is for planning events and actions to help decolonize the movement.
Meetings held each Friday, 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Decolonize to Liberate seeks to shed the dominator ethos and systems of oppressionthat come from colonization, to stand in solidarity with indigenous resistance worldwide and to help restore our relationships to Mother Earth.
As a signal to the national “Occupy” movement and to members of First Nations (Indigenous Peoples) who have felt excluded by the colonialist language used to name this movement, it shall be declared that “Occupy Boston” aspires to “Decolonize Boston” with the guidance and participation of First Nations.
